TCI THIS ROOM Kii-.--' :iif County Library Winnemucca, Nevada JEANNIE JOY and WILL CARSON HUMBOLDT COUNTY LIBRARY WINNEMUCCA, NEVADA S: Had Winnemucca changed from 1959 to 1961? W: I don't know if it was during that period but when we first played in Tonopah in 1959, silver dollars were all the thing. Mining was going real well then and we would have people lined up at the bar who would toss silver dollars at us. It was sort of like that in Winnemucca when we first went there but not quite as much because mining wasn't as big there as in Tonopah. A big change did occur but a little later there is a big gap now to what it was then and what it is now. J: The Humboldt Hotel burned and that made a bit difference too and then they put the mall in there which is in there now. They used to have entertainment there and that was quite a landmark. S: What year was that the Humboldt Hotel burned? W: Sometime in the sixties. S: In the sixties, you were on the road? W: We were full time on the road and we had bought our property up in Unionville, in 1962, we were never here much and we played in Cheyenne and Rollins and Rock Springs and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There is a lot of changes since we were playing up in Jackson. S: What were some of the changes? J: It wasn't all of the houses and it was all wilderness and the town square, was always there. W: It is overcommercialized. J: There are homes in some of the elk pastures. It is too many people and not enough wilderness. Everybody wants to live in Jackson Hole. W: It is such beautiful country. J: Grand Teton Mountains and a lot of people from back east have property there. S: Wasn't there a lot mining going on in the sixties and seventies? W: Oil, coal mining also. J: Mining shut down and the coal shut down that hurt Wyoming pretty bad. They are in a recession now. W: Jackson Hole is doing well and Laramie because of the college is doing well. S: We have gone on this tape from 1961 and now we are 1960 *s, 1970's and how did your music change and were you impacted by 1957 and what happened then? J: Elvis Presley turned it over overnight. What was considered good music was the in thing and Elvis Presley put rock and roll on and young kids went for that. That hurt a lot of the travelling musicians, if they didn't go to rock music it hurt your bookings and it hurt our bookings. We are not that type of entertainer, we don't play that kind of music. The clubs wanted rock and roll music and in the clubs in Wyoming, they changed the drinking age to nineteen, that was another factor that hurt our type of music. They wanted big bands and they wanted it loud and they wanted rock and roll music. Where we had two accounts, at each club we lost a lot of them. S: They changed the drinking law in the late 1970's. J: Yes, they did, take an example, this really happened, Edie we played the Outlaw Inn in Rock Springs and Mike Vass the Manager there saw us bringing in our amplifiers and he said that PAGE9 you better not be loud and we said that if we were ever loud that you tell us and we will cut it down to anything that you would want. When they changed to nineteen year-olds and rock music came in, we would play for Rock Springs about two times a year. He said you are nice people you are not b flatters. This all changed, he said Jeannie and Will you are nice people but you don't play loud enough and you don't play rock. The lounge that we worked in was quite small and he got three and four piece groups in there, playing loud music and it changed just like that which was incredible for us. There it was. We lost a lot of our accounts but as Will said we refused to play that type of music. It hurts my ears I can't stand it and the younger people like it but they are going to go deaf and the future is in hearing aides. S: In the sixties or seventies you backed up Rex Allen? W: I had known Rex from way back and my brother Mel had known him and he came in and he needed some one to back him up on this job so he hired Jeannie and me. It was a high school auditorium full of young kids. They were into rock and they didn't even know who Rex Allen was, so you tell what happened from there on when we got about halfway through the evening. J: Rex was doing his best and he is a fine singer and he yodels good and the kids were bored to death and they didn't like his music so at a certain time, the janitor came up and shut the power off to the p.a. set. He just stood there and there was no power on the mikes and he just walked off the stage and later that night, came into the club where we were working at the Westbank Lounge and he said I want a martini and keep them coming, I have never been so insulted in my whole life. We felt so sorry for him and he is very talented and to have a janitor just pull the plug. I think that I would get drunk too. S: You were up there in Torrington Wyoming, at the Kings Inn, and that was in the sixties and you can tell me about that. J: We had just finished playing at the Winners Inn for Joe and so they wanted us up there and we had to open the next night and that is a thousand miles. I took a lot of chocolate Nodoes, and we get up to Torrington and the town is full of FBI, National Guard and they said AIM that indian movement, has tried to take over the whole town. The historical fort, Larramie out there they are going to destroy that and a lot of businesses downtown and they were praying. There was no room anyway because the National Guard or the FBI had the rooms, we couldn't find any place to stay that night so we got set up and one customer that he had driven in said that he wasn't going to be around for any indian fights so he canceled out at the Kings Inn so we took that room, and we went ahead and thought well, we are here if the war breaks out we can hide behind the amplifiers, or something. Come to find out there were only three indians who threatened to do this, and they didn't do anything and they blew it all out of proportion and the news media got a hold of it and here was all of this trouble so we had two weeks up there. After the first week the lady didn't care for our music and said don't play honky music, and I said that I don't understand by what you mean, honky music and she said play what is popular which we were doing, and she was a hair dresser. She said you will have to change your music and I said no we are playing what is current and popular, why don't you just get another act, we will play PAGE10 this first week, but you can get another act. We heard when we left that she went bankrupt, because she didn't understand the business. W: We played there with the other owners and always went over good, she took over and wanted to make it into a rock and roll thing and she was catering to the young kids. J: It used to be funny, Edie, we used to be up on the stage and they had young girls as bartenders and these girls would squat down and they had drinks stashed down behind the bar, they thought that they were hiding from everyone. We saw them real good and they were drinking away. Then they would come up with a smile on their face and no wonder the lady went bankrupt, they were drinking it all. W: About the same time we played up at the Sheridan Inn, in Sheridan, Wyoming, a place where Buffalo Bill used to hang out in the old days. It was owned by Nelga King who was formerly Nelga Doubleday, the publishing company, she bought that place and it was really nice. It had a nice rustic atmosphere. We stayed upstairs in an apartment, just ultra-modern, we enjoyed our stay up there very much, that was really fun. We would go to all of the antique stores and look for all of the indian stuff. S: You two, were in Gallup, New Mexico. J: That is right Edie, we were playing at the Shalimar, a motel unit and restaurant and lounge and we were in good indian country, the Zuni, the Navajo and Hopi.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

  • Sons of the Pioneers Charity Benefit Concert
    SONS OF THE PIONEERS CHARITY BENEFIT CONCERT The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert on Saturday evening, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Victor Valley College Performing Arts Center, in Victorville, California. This special charity performance will benefit the abused children served by the Happy Trails Children’s Foundation in Apple Valley, California. For decades, the Sons of the Pioneers have musically painted unforgettable images of the West; horses, cattle, cowboys, trails, tall timber, canyons and prairies. Their original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water” are classics forever entwined into the lore and mystique of the American West. Both songs have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Sons of the Pioneers are the most highly awarded singing group of all time. Among their many prestigious awards, they have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame – Hall of Great Western Performers, for their legacy of works in literature, music, film and television that reflect the significant stories of the American West. The Smithsonian Institute named them as “National Treasures.” The Sons of the Pioneers history began in the fall of 1933 when a young man from Duck Run, Ohio, Leonard Slye, then only 22 years of age and living in Southern California, contacted two of his friends, Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, to form a musical group. They worked long and hard to develop a unique close harmony sound that has had an enduring influence on American music to this day.

    The summer ’05 show in Waukee I RCHS Iowa Antique Radio Club and Historical Society IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005 Usually by this time of year, I’d be remarking about “the frost on the pumpkin” and so on as I hunkered down to write the fall newsletter. But with the autumn we’ve had so far, I’ve been too busy soaking up rays while I finished cutting firewood – in a “T” shirt – to get serious about any indoor activities yet; including the newsletter. But, the tree color and the calendar finally convinced me that this can’t last, so it was time to pull together a quarterly report of club events…. We had another nice crowd for the show n conjunction with the Mid-Iowa Hawkeye antique power fair in Waukee again this I haven’t talked Dean into becoming a year. I didn’t manage to muster any other member just yet (he splits his time between members to help, but had a ball as usual Iowa & Colorado with frequent trips all over visiting with the crowd, young and old alike including a recent stint in Baghdad where he and on Saturday, to my surprise a friend was working to help restore their electrical from my high school days, a traveling grid), but he sure seemed to have fun talking engineer who is working in the Grimes area to the crowd and playing the old sets in the for the next year or so, wandered through display, so he’s still a potential member. and wound up taking a couple turns behind the display.
